The two sides did not waste any time and directly started the war.
Because both sides knew that this war was unavoidable. Even if Gongsun Zan wanted to surrender, he couldn't. He couldn't before the battle.
After all, the Gongsun family did not belong to Gongsun Zan alone. Gongsun Zan was not at his peak yet.
At his peak, Gongsun Zan even controlled several states. At that time, he could influence the thoughts of the entire Gongsun family.
But now, he was just one of the outstanding talents of the Gongsun family. At least in terms of status and power, Gongsun Du could compare to him.
Therefore, this war was inevitable. At least, unless they were all defeated, how could the Gongsun Family, which was like the local emperor of Youzhou, easily surrender?
In Ji County, Lu Qing stood in the courtyard of the Provincial Governor's Office, looking at the setting sun as he muttered to himself.
"The battle should be ending soon, right?”
....
On the other side, Gongsun Zan was kneeling on the battlefield of Liaoxi Prefecture and Liaodong Prefecture.
"H-how is this possible?"
Gongsun Zan had thought that he would be defeated because the Youzhou army had displayed their absolute strength when they were suppressing the bandits. They were definitely the strongest army in the world.
However, Gongsun Zan believed that bandits were still bandits after all. Even the Youzhou Army would have to put in some effort to deal with an elite like him, right?
But what happened next left Gongsun Zan stunned.
Those recruits who had just been formed for a few months could actually easily ride and shoot!
Even cavalry who had been trained for several years might not be able to do this!
After all, riding and archery was a very difficult task. This was also the reason why the grassland cavalry could always crush the Great Han cavalry.
Because they grew up on horseback, it was very easy for them to learn how to ride and shoot, so their combat strength was naturally strong.
However, Lu Qing's army had only been training for a few months, and he was already able to shoot on horseback.
In fact, this was all because of the saddle and the arrows used by the Youzhou cavalry. They were not the kind of arrows that were difficult to pull, but crossbow arrows!
An exquisite crossbow from modern design. Cavalrymen could hang it directly on their horses and use it with one hand when needed.
The advantage was that the operation was simple and did not require too much skill.
As for the disadvantage, it was naturally that its power could not compare to the composite bow from modern technology. However, cavalry combat was a quick battle like the wind, fire, and forest. Usually, the distance of riding and shooting would not be very far. It was basically a very close distance.
Under such circumstances, the small and inconspicuous crossbow bolts actually increased the threat.
Moreover, Lu Qing's crossbow was designed and improved. It could store 20 small arrows at a time. In a battle, it was enough to complete a crushing battle. Refilling was also very simple. As long as there was a teammate to cover, the arrow box could be directly replaced.
This was very similar to changing the magazine of modern firearms. This kind of delicate technology naturally had a certain degree of difficulty. Some parts could not be made in ancient times.
However, Lu Qing's golden finger allowed him to freely travel between modern and ancient times. Therefore, those exquisite parts were directly made from modern times.
Moreover, there was another advantage. Even if this thing was seized by the people of this world, it would definitely not be able to be replicated.
Even if it could be replicated, it would require a skilled old master to hand-polish it for a year and a half before it could be made.
Therefore, this was equivalent to a physical anti-theft! The absolute advantage in technology meant that Lu Qing's high-tech crossbow would never be controlled by other dukes.
In addition, the weapons and armor that Lu Qing had given the Youzhou Army during the battle also shocked Gongsun Zan.
Their soldiers 'swords and sabers only created sparks, but they could not break through the defense at all.
The only damage was the gap between the joints or the vibration damage from the excessive force. Other than that, it could not break through the defense.
The weapons of the Youzhou Army were so sharp that they could cut off a hair with a single blow. Under such a crushing pressure, even Bai Ma Yi did not last long and was defeated in minutes.
"Lord Gongsun, you have lost this battle.”
A muscular man with a spear in his hand rode up to Gongsun Zan on a warhorse.
This person was Guan Yu. His weapon had not been forged yet, so he was using a military spear.
Gongsun Zan shook his head dejectedly.
"We lost, we lost completely. I didn't expect that the White Horse Righteous Servant that I was so proud of would actually be defeated by an army that had only been formed for a few months.”
Gongsun Zan said emotionally.
At this moment, Guan Yu turned around and saw the orderly Youzhou Army. It was unheard of for an army to be able to follow the commander's order without making a sound after a huge battle.
"Losing to them isn't shameful.”
Guan Yu said sincerely. This army was built by Lu Qing according to the modern army of the flower family.
Although it had yet to reach that level, there was a 70 - 80% chance that it was there. Such a divine weapon would be an unimaginable elite in ancient times.
Because the discipline of the flower family's army was the best in the world!
Gongsun Zan was easily defeated, let alone Gongsun Du. This battle only lasted for half a day.
The Youzhou Army had easily defeated the Gongsun Clan, an old and powerful clan in Youzhou, at the great cost of losing more than a hundred soldiers. This battle would shake Youzhou and even the world!
